Welcome
Thank you for being here. This is the very first GGN Newsletter, and I am so glad you are reading it.
The Global Grief Network was built on a simple belief: nobody should have to carry grief alone. This newsletter is one more way for us to stay connected. Each issue will share what is coming next, who we will be hearing from, and the new ways you can find support and give support across the network.
The 6th Annual Global Grief Conference, April 2027
Our 6th Annual Global Grief Conference is being planned for April 2027. It will bring our community together once again around grief, healing, and human connection.
Speaker announcements, featured sessions, registration information, and key dates will be shared right here in the newsletter as they are confirmed. Organizations and individuals who would like to sponsor or partner on the conference can help shape this year’s program.
Our new website
The Global Grief Network now has a home at thglobalgriefnetwork.com. It brings everything together in one place: support, practitioners, education, media, the Memory Wall, and ways to get involved.
